Lyrics:
Everyone talks about where our limit might be
We’re still at the point everyone’s asking how far we can go
We answer with the position we’ll reach as we continue to take on challenges
We don’t know where the end is, so we have to keep going until we find it
Yeah, faced with their words that it’s ‘impossible’
we’ll hold on to each other even tighter and push through it all
Even if the path ahead of us is dark we’ll keep running, uh
Faced with all of these battles we won’t ever back down,
we see it through to the end
Looking to the stairs that shoot up towards the sky,
I become anxious wondering if I’ll be able to make it up
An unavoidable adventure
Until I collapse out of breath I’ll give my all to keep running
Never let you go, never let you go
Until the faint light becomes blindingly bright, I go
No turning back
Go up
There’s no backing down
Lift your head and look up
Go up
Never let you go, never let you go
Until the faint light becomes blindingly bright, I go
I’ve already bet all I have on this,
I shook off all of my fear
Even if you block my way I’ll push my way through
To find the dream that I always wanted, I’ll take another step up
Woo
As more time passes I know it won’t be as easy,
but no matter how hard things get or how much things push down on me,
even if I shed sweat and blood I know that I can win
Looking to the stairs that shoot up towards the sky,
I become anxious wondering if I’ll be able to make it up
An unavoidable adventure
Until I collapse out of breath I’ll give my all to keep running
Never let you go, never let you go
Until the faint light becomes blindingly bright, I go
No turning back
Go up
There’s no backing down
Lift your head and look up
Go up
Never let you go, never let you go
Until the faint light becomes blindingly bright, I go
I get up again, and keep going even if I fall
I keep solving the ever increasing problems
Where is the end? Is there any answer to this tower?
With the key clenched in my hand I open the next door
My mind freezes up when faced with the next hurdle,
but I just move in perfect shape and give my all
My breathing grows rougher the higher I go
and my mind goes blank,
all that’s left is my dream to reach the top
No turning back
Don’t let go
There’s no backing down
Lift your head and look up
Don’t let go
I keep running without resting,
not looking anywhere but ahead*, woah
Never let you go, never let you go
Until the faint light becomes blindingly bright, I go
– The*
The lyrics literally say “not looking to the side or behind” = only looking ahead, which is why it’s translated that way
